Do you know how powerful
touch is, the messages it gives, and the effect it has on a person’s emotional,
psychological, and relational growth? Touch has been studied for many years in
particular the healing nature it holds.
Massage therapists use touch to heal,
parents use touch to hug and hold their children close. It’s no wonder it
impacts a child’s sense of worth, feelings of love and security, etc. It doesn’t
stop there. Adults need touch, too. Even those who are uncomfortable with touch
or shy away from it come to find relief and a sense of happiness as endorphins and
oxytocins are released and bonds are formed.
Appropriate, positive touch is
important and needs to be encouraged more in our society. If you agree, post a

your life or of someone else you know.
